Jai Shri Ram echoes in Central Hall after Ram Nath Kovind sworn in

Ram Nath Kovind today took oath as India's 14th President at a ceremony held in Parliament's iconic Central Hall.

New Delhi, July 25: A section of MPs shouted Jai Shri Ram after Ram Nath Kovind was sworn in as India's 14th President in a ceremony in Parliament's Central Hall today.

The slogan, Jai Shri Ram was originated during the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babari Masjid movement in the 80s that catapulted the BJP from a marginal player to India's political mainstream.

Kovind, former Bihar Governor, is a long-time member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological head of the BJP.
